/ THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C„ OCTOBER 24, 1941 Camp Cavalcade CHADOWY figures in a cavalcade ^ of American history—such as the men behind the names of the great army cantonments scattered ail over the United States, where young Americans are learning to be sol diers in order to defend their coun try when the need arises. Near Nevada, Mo., stands a camp which bears the name of one of the greatest explor ers in the annals of America. He was William Clark, younger brother of George Rogers Clark, conqueror of the Old Northwest during the Revo lution. Bom in Virginia in 1770, William Clark was appointed a WUUam Clark lieutenant in the regular army in 1792 and served with Gen. Anthony Wayne in the campaign against the Indians in 1793-94 which ended in the decisive Battle of Fallen Tim bers. A brother lieutenant in that army was a redheaded Virginian named Meriwether Lewis who was to be Clark’s partner in an undertak ing which would make both men famous. That was the exploration of the vast empire in the West acquired by President Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase. They started up the Missouri river on May 14, 1804, and after a journey of 8,000 miles which took them, through many perils, clear to the Pacific coast, they returned to St. Louis on Sep tember 23, 1806. Camp Clark in Mis souri honors his memory, as Fort Lewis in Washington honors that of his partner in their “magnificent ad venture.” Down in Texas is another camp named for a white man who exerted unusual influence over the Indians. It is Camp Bullis, near San An tonio, which perpetuates the fame of Brig. Gen. John Lapham Bullis. He served three years in the Union army during the Civil war, became second lieutenant in the regular army in 1867 and during the next 14 years made an enviable record as an Indian fighter. In 1882 the Texas legislature passed a resolution thanking him “for the gallant and efficient services in repelling the depredations of Indians and other enemies of the frontier of Texas.” Promoted to captain, Bullis was named agent for the Apache Indians at San Carlos, Ariz., one of the most difficult and dangerous posts in the West. But he won the respect and admiration of these savages so com pletely that when he left San Carlos at the end of four years they were a peaceable and prosperous tribe. Soon afterwards he was named agent for the Pueblos and Jicarilla Apaches in New Mexico and his four years there were equally successful. Bullis was retired from the army as a brigadier general in 1905 and died at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, on May 26, 1911. Camp Boyd near El Paso, I'exas, is named for another army officer who served in two wars. Charles Trumbull Boyd (1871-1916), a native of Iowa, was graduated from West Point in 1896 and became a cavalry officer. He saw active service in the Philippines in 1898 to 1900 and, after an interim as professor of mil itary science and tactics at the Uni versity of Nevada and a practicing lawyer in California, returned to the Islands as a major of the Philippine Scouts. In 1916 he joined his old regiment in the regular army, the Fourth cavalry, in the punitive ex pedition against Villa into Mexico and was killed in action at Carrizal, on June 21—the only American offi cer to die in this “Second War with Mexico.” Camp McCoy, near Sparta, Wis., also honors a veteran of two wars— Maj. Gen. Robert Bruce McCoy, who captained a company of Wis consin volunteers in the Spanish- American war, commanded the L25th infantry and later the 128th Infantry of the Thirty-second divi sion of the A.E.F. and represented the war department in establishing the reservation which has been used tor war games in recent years and which has borne his name since 1926. Camp Fordyce in the town of Sam Fordyce, Texas, is named for S. IV. Fordyce, a leading attorney of St. Louis who served as counsel for the War Finance corporation dur ing the World war. He was a di rector of the M. K. & T. railroad and a director of many important sorporations in the Southwest. ‘Soldiers of Freedom’ “To the Soldiers of the National krmy: The heart of the whole coun try is with you. Everything that fou do will be watched with deep interest. For this great war draws as all together, makes us all com- •ades and brothers, as all true Americans felt themselves to be when we first made good our inde- oendence. The eyes of all the world arill be upon you, because you are m some special sense the soldiers of ’reedom.”—President Woodrow Wil ton’s message, September 3, 1917. HALLOWEEN TRICKS FOR OCTOBER’S FAVORITE PARTY (See Recipes Below) WITCHES’ NIGHT OUT Spooks and fun while the goblins, black cats and ghosts make merry— isn’t that an in spiration to have one grand, merry party before the winter sets in? Come, let’s plan stew and brew and set the witches’ cauldron boiling* and bub bling! You’ll need hearty sandwiches, plentiful and hot since the weath er’s slightly nipped with frost. Of course you’ll have cider and dough nuts because they’re wedded togeth er and traditional. To top it off, have a witches’ cake, a chocolaty, honest - to - goodness devil’s food, moist and crumbly, and perhaps one of those pumpkin shaped molds of ice cream, or at least orange ice, to carry out October’s orange and black color scheme. The party starts as soon as the invitptions are sent out. These can be pumpkin, black cat or cauldron shaped, made double with the invi tation written on the inside. Send them early so your guests won’t make other plans. The more, the merrier. Twirl some streamers of orange and black crepe paper around the room, bring out the frayed straw hats, checked shirts, and grand mother’s costumes from that trunk in the attic. All set? Here we go: *Sandwiches. These can be made on the buffet or at the table if you have a sand wich toaster. If made in the kitchen use the broiler. Have asserted bread, butter, place cheese on first layer, then another slice of buttered bread, then a slice of ham, and top with a slice of bread. Toast, cut in three, and fasten with toothpicks. To bewitch your family and guests completely serve them a cake with that agreeable melt - in - your - mouth quality. Measure the in gredients careful ly so you’ll attain that feathery lightness so es sential to a good cake. After the icing is spread on the cake, make decorations with melted chocolate. ♦Witches’ Cake. (Devil’s Food) 2 cups sifted cake flour 2 teaspoons double acting baking powder % teaspoon soda V* teaspoon salt Vz cup butter or shortening 1 cup sugar 2 egg yolks, well beaten 3 squares unsweetened chocolate, melted IVi cups milk 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 egg whites, stiffly beaten Sift flour once, measure, add bak ing powder, salt and soda.

First of all, decorations and ta ble settings don’t have to be letter perfect, for you can have the most fun in the midst of the basement or barn decorated with sheaves of cornstalk, pumpkin faces, rakes, hoes and goblins made of sheets. For your table use a large piece of burlap or cotton sacks sewed together and dyed scarlet or gold. A centerpiece of pump kin with candles inside the hol low or fruit and burnished au tumn leaves will bring cheers. Write fortunes and place them in apples or nuts. Play pin the tail on the cat. Bob for apples. Have target practice with bean shooters. Dance the Virginia Reel and other square dances if your floor can stand it—all amid plenty of black and orange crepe paper. Halloween’s the time for all this noisy fun.

What is spaghetti, and if so how? • • • Is macaroni playing fair with the government? • • • Is the federal security program in any way being balked by the vermi celli situation? . *' • • These are questions which the government of the United States of America is now handling despite all the other serious matters we thought were taking up its time. • • • And what department do you think is considering the spaghetti, macaroni and vermicelli situation? You’d never guess. The Federal Security administration! Yes, sir. Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt has ordered a hear ing on the whole subject. * • • Is victory over Hitler and Musso lini tied up in some way with the dollar Italian dinner? Is the ulti mate triumph of democracy depend ent on a standardized bowl of spaghetti? Are the Four Freedoms remotely linked with honesty in the macaroni, spaghetti and vermicelli trades? • • • Who can say? All we know is that Mr. McNutt had ordered a hearing by the Food and Drug board for defense reasons. Even the ravioli situation may be gone into. • • • It just goes to show you the tfeing the long arm of the govern ment gets into these days. Not even a plate of minestrone soup can go its own unregulated, undisciplined, uncontrolled way. • • • And by the way who is the Fed eral Administrator in Charge of Noodles for the fiscal year? • • * And have you got the address of the U. S. Chop Suey administration and the first name of the govern ment Grated Cheese Dishes co ordinator? • • • But to get back to the Italian dinner crisis. We understand the macaroni hearing is to be for the purpose of going over the whole spaghetti, vermicelli and macaroni situation in America with the idea of making certain it does justice to modem government and that there is nothing about it - that might at some time show that Washington had not been on the job. * • • The government is out to protect you from false spaghetti- just as it protects you from a bad stock mar ket investment. It would give you the same safety in the matter of buying 10 yards of spaghetti that it tries to give you in acquiring a few shares of common stocks. • * • Spaghetti should be cord shaped and measure between 0.06 and not more than 0.11 in diameter, the gov ernment holds. It has specified cer tain specific shapes, and contours for macaroni and vermicelli, with or without grated cheese. • » • And it is sticking to its policy of protecting you against everything, except a fly in your minestrone. It may yet get around to that. We hope the spaghetti hearing is a happy one and that somebody will provide red wine. • * • FORWARD LOOK Go ahead, bomber— Have your way! You’ll be a saucepan Again some day. —Grace B. Treadway. * * • “Weygand Renews Pledge of Loy alty to Vichy.”—headline. Unless he does it every few min utes he has trouble keeping his mind to it, no doubt. • • • Hitler and Mussolini have , come out for a new world order in which everybody except the Nazis can live on their knees. • • * Add similes: as funny as the Nazi blast denouncing the invasion of Iran as unlawful, unfair and a treacherous blow at a small nation’s integrity. • • • HOW COME? I have never found it otherwise, When I’m in Bangor, Maine, The matchbook covers advertise A quick lunch in Spokane. While in Spokane the covers sell No local haunt forsooth, But rave about some grand hotel In faraway Duluth. —J. H. Niles * • • Hitler is in the position of having won so many enormous victories in such a short time that defeat stares him in the face. * • • Nazi chiefs are said to have left Berlin for a safer city. They have come to the conclusion that aerial warfare can be carried to a point where it is dangerous. * * * Definition of a split second: The time between the changing of the red light and the blast from the horn of the auto behind you.
